Figure 2. 800 × 800 Å STM images from a longer movie showing the growth of 1D islands at 523 K. Time advances from left to right. Coverage increases from 0 to 0.07 ML. The movie begins with the clean substrate before deposition. One can follow individual islands from frame to frame as they grow. View Java Applet Movie or View GIF Animation

Figure 3. 800 × 800 Å STM images showing the growth of islands at 533 K. Time advances from left to right. Coverage increases from 0 to 0.1 ML at a rate of approximately 0.01 monolayers deposited per frame. The movie begins with the clean substrate before deposition. At this temperature 1-D islands form and coalesce. View Java Applet Movie or View GIF Animation
